This sounds parallel to our department's current efforts to overhaul our major requirements. Some students want that traditional set of coursework, but others want to do linguistics differently, and apply it to different fields, and I think we need to enable that, rather than discourage it.

Last year they completely knocked me out, and then I just got mine again two days ago and barely felt anything. Seems to be a total crapshoot. Same logic though, I refuse to get them on a Friday.

My first visit to Korea was summer 2001, and I arrived home on September 10. I have a photo my parents took of me at the gate after I deplaned, and I realized that photo really represents the end of an era, because the very next day it became impossible for non-passengers to go past security at all.

This makes me feel better about my gameless 3 years (and is also somewhat enabling 🤔).

The serendipity of “the next book over” in libraries and used book stores is a wonderful and often overlooked method of randomly learning new and fascinating things.

New paper out! Turns out people are pretty good at converging or not on command. But my favorite part is that Americans' TRAP vowels end up conflicted between the TRAP they just heard and that elephant BATH in the room Super fun & my 1st collab w/ Cynthia www.journal-labphon.org/article/id/2...

I have used an Oster 2097654 for three years. It's nothing special but I have no complaints, either!

Most reliably, the finale to Act 2 of Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet (on many recordings it's the second half of "Death of Tybalt"). I find it one of the most intense two minutes of music ever written. Chills every time, especially the last few bars.

Do I have anyone on here who can help with a tricky issue in early modern (late 16th century) Portuguese lexicography / etymology?

To me it just reads like a passive: site (is) closed at 10pm. So there's someone that does the closing, which yeah I guess does sound more commanding somehow, rather than the (non-sentient and therefore non-threatening) site just closing itself.

We don't get tons of musical acts coming to the non-KC parts of Kansas, but on August 10 in Salina you can see Men at Work, Toad the Wet Sprocket, AND *checks notes* Shonen Knife.

This is a very interesting comparison. In my intro class I spend a day teaching about the ape language learning studies, and their various flaws, but hadn't thought about this parallel before.

You are not alone! I never feel like I'm as up-to-date as I should be so I tend not to comment much, but this is basically my sentiment as well.

I only got 968 today! I knew Bergen was on the west coast but I was too far north, and in a country like Norway it's really the latitude that matters.

In grad school and even in my early working years I used to always work in cafes, and now I just find it so difficult! (I think a small part of it is I just can't work on a small laptop monitor anymore.)
